Pain, 

you just have to fight through, 

because the truth is 

you can't outrun it, 

and life always makes more.

 

A wise man once said

 “You can have anything in life if you’re willing to sacrifice everything else for it.” 

What he meant is nothing comes without a price. 

February : Worm Moon

 

• 
  

This moon comes at beginning of the spring thaw, when earthworms reappear

 and robins soon after them.

Secretly,
by the light of the moon,
a worm bores into a chestnut.

Worm Moon - Full Moon - Lunar Eclipse

 

• March 3: A total lunar eclipse 

• March 3: Full Moon 

The moral is the chosen, not the forced;

 the understood, not the obeyed.

The moral is the rational, 

and reason accepts no commandments

 

No matter how vast your knowledge or how modest, it is your own mind that has to acquire it. 

It is only with your own knowledge that you can deal. 

It is only your own knowledge that you can claim to possess or ask others to consider. 

Your mind is your only judge of truth—

and if others dissent from your verdict, 

reality is the court of final appeal. 

Nothing but a man’s mind can perform that complex, delicate, crucial process of identification which is thinking.

 Nothing can direct the process but his own judgment. 

Nothing can direct his judgment but his moral integrity.

 

I would rather have questions that can't be answered 

than answers that can't be questioned

Jesus

 

Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.

Do to others as you would have them do to you.

Do not judge, or you too will be judged.

No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. 

You cannot serve both God and money.

do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes?

Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal.

For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.

 For those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.

whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.

do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’

Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

If a man owns a hundred sheep, and one of them wanders away, will he not leave the ninety-nine on the hills and go to look for the one that wandered off?

 And if he finds it,  he is happier about that one sheep than about the ninety-nine that did not wander off.

Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again

What good is it for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul?

It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick.

The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few.

Do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Let the day's own trouble be sufficient for the day.

Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.

Give to everyone who begs from you; and of him who takes away your goods do not ask them again. And as you wish that men would do to you, do so to them.

If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them. And if you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners do the same.

Man shall not live by bread alone,

 Ask and it will be given to you; search, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened for you.

it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven.

 

And as you stand there on the front porch, 

staring at the life you're about to leave behind, 

you have to accept it's gone, 

it's lost,

 just like you. 

 

March bustles in on windy feet 

and sweeps my doorstep and my street

 

It was one of those March days 

when the sun shines hot 

and the wind blows cold: 

when it is summer in the light, 

and winter in the shade

 

March came in that winter 

like the meekest and mildest of lambs,

bringing days that were crisp and golden and tingling, 

each followed by a frosty pink twilight 

which gradually lost itself 

in an elfland of moonshine

 

In March 

winter is holding back 

and spring is pulling forward. 

Something holds and something pulls

 inside of us too

 

March was an unpredictable month, 

when it was never clear what might happen. 

Warm days raised hopes 

until ice and grey skies shut over 

the town again

 

The stormy March has come at last,
With winds and clouds and changing skies;
I hear the rushing of the blast
That through the snowy valley flies

 

This is the perfume of March: 

rain, 

loam, 

feathers, 

mint

March

 

15th March - Ides Of March 

17th March - St Patricks Day 

  When the wind strays,

Fog's mantle is grey,
Laying misty bouquets,
On barren, muddied days.

The daffodils of March,
Can cheer up Plutarch,
Adorned in Kelly green,
No sign of foggy screens.

March came in like a lamb today

 

March came in like a lamb today 

Like a frolicking lamb in a field at play 

Spring

 

Spring
stirs the clouds
in the sky's teabowl

Spring has come:
the nameless hill
lies shrouded in mist

The spring sea
rocks all day long:
rising and falling, ebbing and flowing ...

Ring out the bells again
Like we did when spring began

March

Spring

 

By the meteorological calendar, spring will always start on 1 March; ending on 31 May.

Spring is the season after winter and before summer. Days become longer and weather gets warmer in the temperate zone because the Earth tilts relative to its orbital plane around the Sun. In many parts of the world it rains for hours. This helps the plants grow and flowers bloom

Spring and "springtime" refer to the season, and also to ideas of rebirth, rejuvenation, renewal, resurrection and regrowth. Subtropical and tropical areas have climates better described in terms of other seasons, e.g. dry or wet, monsoonal or cyclonic. Cultures may have local names for seasons which have little equivalence to the terms originating in Europe.

During early spring, the axis of the Earth is increasing its tilt relative to the Sun, and the length of daylight rapidly increases for the relevant hemisphere. The hemisphere begins to warm significantly, causing new plant growth to "spring forth", giving the season its name

March

 

March bustles in on windy feet and sweeps my doorstep and my street

It was one of those March days when the sun shines hot and the wind blows cold: when it is summer in the light, and winter in the shade

March, when days are getting long,
Let thy growing hours be strong to set right some wintry wrong

March came in that winter like the meekest and mildest of lambs,

bringing days that were crisp and golden and tingling, 

each followed by a frosty pink twilight 

which gradually lost itself 

in an elfland of moonshine

March is a tomboy with tousled hair, a mischievous smile, mud on her shoes, and a laugh in her voice

Our life is March weather, savage and serene in one hour

To welcome her the Spring breath’s forth Elysian sweets; 

March strews the Earth With violets and posies

March brings breezes loud and shrill, stirs the dancing daffodil

In March winter is holding back and spring is pulling forward. Something holds and something pulls inside of us too

March winds and April showers bring forth May flowers

Springtime is the land awakening. The March winds are the morning yawn

March is the month of expectation, the things we do not know

In March the soft rains continued, and each storm waited courteously until its predecessor sunk beneath the ground

Daffodils,
That come before the swallow dares, and take
The winds of March with beauty

Despite March’s windy reputation, winter isn’t really blown away; it is washed away. It flows down all the hills, goes swirling down the valleys and spills out to sea. Like so many of this earth’s elements, winter itself is soluble in water…

March was an unpredictable month, when it was never clear what might happen. Warm days raised hopes until ice and grey skies shut over the town again

By March, the worst of the winter would be over. The snow would thaw, the rivers begin to run and the world would wake into itself again

The stormy March has come at last,
With winds and clouds and changing skies;
I hear the rushing of the blast
That through the snowy valley flies

This is the perfume of March: rain, loam, feathers, mint
